The sanction given bootleg liquor by every rank of so- ciety has lent it a certain smart- ness that is liberally copied and! even enlarged upon by college men and women. Beer used to be the staple col- lege drink; at five cents a glass it produced the desired results at an1 insignificant cost. But now thatl prohibition has placed a premium on ready concealment, hard liquor is easier to buy and produces a much more devastating intoxica- tion for a smaller initial invest- ment. Home-brewing has been given many a trial, but on the whole its results are so problem- atical that the pseudo-busy college man cannot give it the necessary attention. Obviously to repeal prohibition, would not be to dry up the colleges, but we feel that flagrant intoxica- tion would no longer be a thing to parade as conspicuously as possible, and certainly good wholesome beer would be restored to first place in ,the hearts of college students. t 0 .,,,.,7,n ,,,,,,, :. - "I run.=rmm smnnnmvnnt,/fir .4.- I TOASED RL LOST AND FOUND , DEPARTMENT.

While their efforts are, within bounds, fruitful, other fields, which because of their greater fer-' tility would reap larger harvests if given the attention afforded con-' vocations, are being left untouch- ed. Foremost among these is the establishment of a more intimate and cordial relation between stu- dents from foreign countries and the general student body. The University is recognized universally for its cosmopolitan character, its abundance of stu- dents from other lands, who are frequently the most promising young men and women of their re- spective countries. Despite the high calibre of these students and the importance of their receiving a favorable opinion of the University and of the Amer- ican people generally, they are treated with an air of frigidity. The building of a friendly rela- tion with foreign students is di- rectly in line with the association's endeavors, and it has done some- thing toward that end. But cor- dial feelings can not be thoroughly built through orating on the value of international friendship. It must spring from a source of more specific and intimate nature. Advantages of the association's arranging the entertainment ofI foreign students by fraternities, will come not alone-"to the former but also to the student body, who 1 7 i hat you'll probably find it there. sophistication (that malady of I'll bring it up here if it dries out college literati) and makes you as, within a reasonable time. emotional' and enthusiastic as * nlight dim- Charles Lamb was on the night he' I see that gongs and lgtdm rners are to be installed in Hill returned late from Eastcheap with. auditorium.

The price of the Ensian goes up has thought much about ideality. jHe has not been able to find it, and the customary 'Platonic melan- choly' has resulted. Mr. Wilder has set these ideas (or disillusion-' ments, if you will) in clear and beautiful-classical prose. It is a 4oy to read someone again who isj jubilent over the loveliness of words, someone who is enthused over graceful form. But there isI danger here. We forget what is being said to how it is said. Lit- erature cannot thrive on wordsj alone. Mr. Wilder is charm, grace, and beauty, but we cannot live by his formula. Literature must help us to live. We cannot spend our time in weeping. Perhaps this old adage expresses our attitude: One' can love Plato, but must obey Aris- totle. R. E. M. l0 COLLECTED POEMS OF JOHN MASEFiELD. Published by The Macmillan Co., New York City, N.
